Re: too sick for fun-Al......you aren't alone!!

[Guest guest]

When I was 30 yrs. old, I started a great job as a flight

attendant which I loved! I remember asking people to sit down when

the seat belt light was on, and they would tell me that they had

back pain or arthritis. I wasn't very sympethetic with them, and now

I can't even sit thru a 1/2 church sermaon without having to get up

and take a walk. I feel very guilty about that. I carry so much

guilt about alot of things, mostly not being the Mommy that I wanted

to be to my 3 yr. old son, Quinn.

My husband's family told him that they thought I was " acting " sickly

because I wanted to be waited on. It's one thing to not want to go

to work, but when someone doesn't even want to do the FUN things in

life (like take beautiful vacations) then I tend to believe that

they are really hurting.

I have found in the last 5 yrs. of having aches and pains all over,

that the traveling is the hardest part. Once I get to the ocean or

the mountains, being outside is a nice distraction. It is so hot in

Las Vegas right now, that I am indoors all the time. I can't even go

for a walk at night! I wish that I had a detox buddy here to shop

and cook with.

I love this group, but I have never been able to keep up with the e-

mails because I can't sit for very long. I have always lost track of

who is who and what has helped them. I am much better on the phone.

I'm sure that I haven't looked at messages that girls have sent me,

because I am so far behind.

You certainly have alot of understanding friends here. Last year

when a group of us met at a wonderful get-a-way, it felt so good to

be surrounded by friends who have been there. If anyone would ever

like to come to Las Vegas, my home is open!!

Have you tried a magnet for your back. Mine have been life-savers.
